The Clientwise Team

Regina Koetters is dedicated to helping business owners and their teams get out of their own way. She has a knack for helping clients uncover the true bottlenecks and blindspots that undermine their success and grow their companies with greater confidence and speed than they think possible.

Regina is a leadership and executive coach with 20+ years of experience leading change and navigating complexity in the business, non-profit, government, and military sectors.

Before launching her coaching practice, Regina’s varied career included independently founding and growing an innovative farm-to-table restaurant, gourmet food market, and coffee shop to $2.5M in revenue with 35+ employees and managing the operations and maintenance of the second largest military air base in Iraq with a tiny-but-mighty team of twelve, none of whom had any previous airport management experience–including her!

Regina activates people to be bold, tackle challenges, and do their best work all while cultivating a deeper appreciation for and understanding of themselves. Her clients say she makes it fun and easy(ier) to do hard things. She’s surprised they keep coming back despite knowing she’s going to stretch them beyond their comfort zones and ask them tough questions.
